Do NOT join this gym, or rather 'gym system'. While it appears to be a very good bargain, one should not forget that the 'bargain' aspect of these gyms is the result of a heavy tax subsidy funded by all the happy little UK taxpayers. In truth, similar to other private/public partnerships (think of the train system) there is much lacking.

The majority of these facilities are filthy (the toilets in Pond's Forge are a health hazard), their customer service is exceptionally rude and you'll end up sharing or waiting for the weight room at Don Valley with whatever local rugby team they see fit to rent it out. You are basically paying market prices for the gym but getting far less in terms of hygiene and basics then you would at private gym that needs to pay attention to these things in order to stay afloat.

On a final note, if you ever decide that 'enough is enough' and try to end your contract, be prepared to be hunted down by third party debt collectors even if you gave written notices and highlighted the deficencies of the company. A year later you could find yourself still dealing with the mess of it all! My short and squalid 'relationship' with this company was not good and I would give this company, even in spite of the many venues, a miss and head somewhere clean and friendly like Fitness First. (And no, I do not work for them-just a happy member).

Summary: I would NOT join this gym if I were you
